As collective motion plays a crucial role in modern day robotics and engineering, it seems appealing to seek inspiration from nature, which abounds with examples of collective motion (starling flocks, fish schools etc.). ...

This dissertation focuses on two important aspects of communication systems, namely energy efficiency and age of information. Both aspects have received much less attention than traditional performance metrics, such as ...

In a distributed system most nodes maintain a local oscillator to derive time information for synchronization with other nodes. A number of clock synchronization techniques have been presented in the literature (e.g. NTP, ...

It is unclear how the introduction of "fast lanes" would affect the evolution of the Internet. While this is with no doubt an important issue, we do not aim to address this question. Instead, in this work we study the ...

Hardware designers are constantly looking for ways to squeeze waste out of architectures to achieve better power efficiency. Cache resizing is a technique that can remove wasteful power consumption in caches. The idea is ...

The sine-Gordon equation is one of the nonlinear and integrable partial differential equations that can be solved exactly and has soliton solution. This equation was first introduced for Josephson junction propagation and ...

Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI) is one of the most common
neurological disorders. A subset of patients develop persistent
cognitive deficits. A number of the brain studies have been conducted
to discover the abnormalities ...

4H-Silicon Carbide (4H-SiC) power MOSFET is a promising technology for future high-temperature and high-power electronics. However, poor device reliability and performance, that stem from the inferior quality of 4H-SiC/SiO2 ...

Legitimate web browser redirection is often used to take users to web pages that have moved or to help users find the correct website when they have entered the web address incorrectly. Unfortunately, computer network ...

Advances in embedded systems for digital signal processing (DSP) are enabling many scientific projects and commercial applications. At the same time, these applications are key to driving advances in many important kinds ...
